This timely book provides a systematic overview and critique of
contemporary approaches to educational change from some of the
best-known writers and scholars in the field, including Andy
Hargreaves, Larry Cuban, Ivor Goodson, Jeannie Oakes, Milbrey
McLaughlin, Judyth Sachs and Ann Liebermann.
Divided into four sections, the book addresses the key
themes:
- What has been the impact of educational change?
- How has the impact differed in different circumstances?
- What are the new directions for research on policy and
practice?
- How can we link research, policy and practice?
By highlighting critical lessons from the past, the book aims to
set an agenda for policy-related research and the future
trajectories of educational reforms, while also taking into account
the dominant rhetorics of international 'social movements' and the
'refracted' nature of policy agenda at national and local
levels.
This book addresses issues which with many educators around the
world are currently grappling. It will appeal to academics and
researchers in the field, as well as providing an introduction to
key issues and themes in Educational Change for graduates and
practitioners.
